Friday, 20 July, 2018

Guardiola has travelled to the United States for games against Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and Bayern Munich with a squad made up mostly of young players as many of his regular stars are enjoying an extended break following their exploits in Russian Federation.

Guardiola's title-winning squad had 16 players at the tournament in Russian Federation, including England's John Stones and Raheem Sterling, Spain's David Silva, Brazil's Ederson and Gabriel Jesus among others.

"Joe is our player, we will try and find solution", Guardiola said.

Guardiola said: "What happened last season was a effect of the work we did two seasons ago. I know it's not easy for him".

The Premier League champions will play Borussia Dortmund in Chicago on Friday, July 20, before heading to NY to play Liverpool on Wednesday, July 25, and then finishing their trip with a match against Bayern Munich in Miami on Saturday, July 28.

Jorginho played under Maurizio Sarri at Napoli and Chelsea's new head coach was keen to be reunited with him at Stamford Bridge. He is training like a young guy of 18 years old.

"It could be like what happened with Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz - he could stay with us, because from what we have seen in these days, the impression is good, so good". If they are ready they'll help us and if not we'll wait for them. All the best for him.

"We will try to be ready to play every game like we did previous year". We are so happy to have him here, ' Guardiola added.
